A student team in Berlin is building a bedside sensor that alerts care staff when a resident gets out of bed, leaves a room, or has not moved for a set time.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.
For
Care-home and Pflege-WG night staff
Worth noticing
The site says the first prototype uses two ESP32-S3 boards and a separate LD2410C radar module; its signal graphic is simulated for now.

Field notes

The proposed alert path depends on the care setting: a care home would connect the system to its nurse-call setup, while a Pflege-WG could use a phone or chime. The team says its firmware is written, but the first hardware parts are still on order, and the signal visualization is simulated. It also draws a firm boundary around the product's intended role: prompting staff to check, not detecting falls or assessing health.
